"the conflict could last four to five weeks, though it could be fought “forever”".

`

One day, like a miracle, it will just vanish.

I'm genuinely concerned that people are surprised by this. Nobody brought him to heel after Venezuela.

I've not heard anything of Maduro and Venezuela of late...

The left will be quiet while the few grown ups left among them figure what the hell to do. They have tried everything.

Ta, Marcie. While I was home yesterday, I went to ssa.gov to start planning to collect around the time we retire. While I was there, the site went down. Later, I heard of similar happening to huge sites like amazon web services. I believe it was Iranian hackers, and who could blame them?

Just sent to fucking Fetterman:

"Jesus John. If I'd wanted a shitty republican I'd have voted for Oz. You are a fucking embarrassment, I am so bitterly disappointed with you. Here's a suggestion, resign from the senate and fuck off, spend your remaining years fluffing Trump in the private sector."

'It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months.'

Donald Rumsfeld, US Defence Secretary, 8 February 2003

So yeah, that.

It's hard to gin up Democratic outrage when the media consistently ignores them.

Chicken or chicken egg? Either way = still chicken

Been meaning to ask for a friend. How many times times does the name Netanyahu turn up corresponding with Jeff The Molester in the Trumpstein files?

OrdinaryJoe's avatar

Some regime change we have going there. The son of the old mullah is going to take over for his killed father. Success, Trumpstein style.

I'm sure he will be gracious and forgive the US.

For a small fee, just like (dusts off notes) IRAN CONTRA EVERYBODY!!! Thank you for your attention to this nattering nabob of negativism!

We had 100% air superiority in Afghanistan. And we still sent troops in to die, because nobody wins a war with air superiority. Oh and look how well that turned out for us.

The Iranians have had decades to learn how to hide their shit. We will bomb them 12 ways to Sunday, Assmouth will declare “Mission accomplished,” we’ll swagger away, and leave behind a country still armed to the teeth. And not incidentally HATING us even more, especially the people who saw American planes in the sky and thought they were going to be liberated.

"..Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor..."

See, that's your problem right there. Woke warfighter pilots.

I don't think NCOs are pilots. They may have been operating a ground battery or something.

I don't know if this war will extend beyond the region as it might well have back in "Cold War" times, but it is obviously causing deadly chaos in the region. It's already a tragic affair. Trump may not give a tinker's damn about the USA having bombed a girls' school in Iran, but anyone beyond him and the psychopaths in his cabinet does care.

If you won't oppose and illegal and grossly unpopular war because you don't want to look weak on defense you are, as grandad used to say, as worthless as teats on a bore.

Nut up indeed, democrats. When only about a quarter of Americans support Pedo 47’s Big Beautiful War, there’s no reason to be afraid of taking the anti-war position.

Crockett should be out of fucks to give. Put her out there instead of Chuck Schumer.

Correction for the TikTok lady: Pennsylvania went for Pedo 47 in 2016 and 2024 but went for Biden in 2020. We’re still more of a purple than red state.

arglebargle's avatar

PA did, but I think she said Adams County. South Central PA is MAGA chud central.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

It wasn’t clear. Adams County is very maga. I live in Dauphin County, the lone blue island in the sea of red that is south central PA.

arglebargle's avatar

I'm over in Lititz. We have a mini island here in Lancaster proper too. Just don't stray too far south. Or west. Or east.

Michael Bowen's avatar

What about Chester County? We're thinking of possibly moving there for retirement.

Democrats cluck? WTF are the supposed to do given they're not in control of anything? What would you do if you were in Congress? Try to break into the White House to physically attack Trump? Do the same to GOP members of Congress? The time to have stopped this was on Nov 5, 2024. But all the "Abandon Harris" people told us Trump wouldn't be as bad.
